Sometimes we get some really great emails sent our way that are just full of great things we have never seen, or heard about... that being said, this was the case when artist
Brian O. aka
B6 sent some info our way, we were stoked! He tells us that he has been a collector of vinyl figures for a long time now and back in 2006 he tried to produce his own vinyl figure dubbed "Boutiqueoeuff" or "Oeuff" which is crude French slang for egg. Later that year, he learned that producing a figure was not so easy... which ultimately lead to never having the figures produced. He ended up using the samples he received and created something different based on his personal life, inspirations, companies/brands he likes.... and above is the result of all these outside influences... a wide array of seriously cool looking, highly customized, super clean customs.
In all honesty, alot of these speak to me and I can relate them especially the "Starbucks" one, and that sick TIE Fighter! Brian does some great work, and he plans on hopefully one day finding the funding to make his figure a reality... what are all your thoughts on the egg shaped figure, better yet how do you like Brian's work?

Introducing the first series of custom 3" Android figures by
Mr. Munk! At just $45 each, these heavily weathered and detailed pieces are lovingly crafted in Munk's signature style. Mr. Munk takes his time with each and every custom, which is evident in the detailed and layered color effects. Munk uses production paints like Monster Kolor sometimes, but more often mixes his own pigments to create, from scratch, the paint he will use for each custom. In this way, no two Mr. Munk customs, or even colors, will ever be exactly the same. The layered, weathered, heavily-worked style is one he's been developing for over a decade, painting on panels and canvas, and just like the majority of customs we have seen from Munk in the past, these turned out fantastic! All of these, plus many more customs from Mr. Munk are available
HERE right now via the Tenacious Toys online shop... go snag em up!

Well it's been quite a long time since we have heard from
VISEone... not by his choice though as he was dealing with a few health issues... but he is back and better than ever and has just recently completed a MASSIVE 20" Mega Munny that he is calling "COMIC BRAIN". He tells us that this particular piece shows a bit of the style he's working on for future customs as he won't work on more COMIC STRIPPED customs except for commissions, and he will be taking the more simplistic approach, more pure if you will... just like the piece you see above! If interested, this piece is up for grabs right
HERE... a great piece for any collection, so go pull the trigger!

Alrighty folks ... you've seen the
teasers, you've read of the ass-kicking insanity that is currently unfolding in Albuquerque and Austin ... now here is some more candy for the eyeballs and the 'officially official' details from the man himself,
Mr. Brandt F*cking Peters (
the word is unquestionably essential when treading FERG territory).
TRIGGER is a two-person exhibition between Peters and Jamungo/Playge ringleader Clay 'FERG' Ferguson, set to tyrannize
Stranger Factory Jan. 6th. A showcase of 2D and three-dimensional works, we'll get to see these two reinterpret each other's toys and construct some of the most menacing customs to date. More info and pics to emerge with the artist interviews, so keep checking back! The show runs through Jan. 30th, 2012, with an opening reception from 6pm to 9pm. Both artists will be in attendance.
